Lauren Simpson is the owner of LA Page Makeup.  Makeup artists are often vendors I only see during their last hour of work before we head to the ceremony.  In our conversation, I learned how much earlier she has to get for a wedding than me.

Best friends Ashley and Alyssa started The Gilded Gals Co. in 2019.  They are a wedding and event planning company that offers A La Carte to Full Service planning for your wedding or event.  I had a wonderful conversation with them hearing how they got started and how their first year of business is going.

Videographer and owner of KML Productions joins me to talk about why she got into wedding videos.  We also talk about her job producing videos for Bravo and how that helps her with wedding videos.

In this episode, I had a great conversation with wedding photographer Eli Holmes.  We talked about weddings, venues, cameras, and so much more.  We talked about their advocacy work as well with domestic abuse and queer issues.  I think we could have talked forever, but clients were calling.  Website and Instagram links are below.

After 14 years in the business, I need to slow down.  I have a full-time job, I have a wife and two kids, and I need a break.  I enjoy weddings, I really do, but I also want to spend time with my family.  As a result, I am taking a step back from recording wedding videos.  But, I don't want to walk away from the business because I really do love it.  My new goal is to pass along the things I have learned over the years to the next generation of vendors and couples.  This is the first episode of many where I will give advice.
